Athletics World Championships thread

[Master]

Jessica Ennis is well fit.

[Nameless]

I am not an athletics fan but Canada won against russia today in the U18 team and I am damn happy because I know team Canada goalkeeper very well and knowing how he struggled to get up there, I am damn proud of him.

Thus said, some of the pictures up here are definitely tasty

My computer is over run with little Athletics stuff as my misses is the southern peninsula organizer and shes a level two coach in javelin and also trains kids in all types of other events as well as pulling together joint events from all over the state.

So I think we will be watching some of it for sure.





We get to hear this a lot at our meetings..

"Do not cross the track while an event is in progress please"

Bolt looks like the man to beat, think Tyson and Powell will come 2nd and 3rd.

9.58 WTF!!!!!

BOLT IS NOT HUMAN

Bolt ran a 9.5fucking8!
He is the most astonishing athlete I have ever seen.

That's probably the most amazing sporting thing I have ever seen in my life just beyond belief!!!

To put it into perspective how good he is, he ran 9.89 in the semi-final and jogged from 40 metres onwards. Linford Christie was World and Olympic champion and his best ever time in his whole career was 9.87

Linford Christie was a cheat though

But yea that certainly was a sight to see, for certain one of the greatest sporting achievements i've ever seen in my life time. Something to tell the grandkids when im old that i was in the Usain Bolt era. By the way i also had the same prediction, as Master did but Usain Bolt at his best is unbeatable.

I reckon he will take Michael Johnson's 400m record aswell, i used to love Michael Johnson as a kid. But i would love to see a guy like Usain Bolt break it. And also did anyone see Jessica Ennis ? great performance from her she done England proud well done.

I know man, I am still speechless here. That is a benchmark moment in sporting history for sure. Gay and Powell performed really well, but they were both chasing Bolt's shadow.
He is just an utter physical freak and I can't see the 100m and 200m being competitive while he is performing at this level. I mean, the gulf in class between him and everyone else is astronomical.
I feel honoured to have witnessed that performance!

Caster Semenya, the woman 800m runner being gender tested, is, quite appropriately, an anagram of 'Yes, a secret man'.

Caster last week went to the Doctors, to complain of Hairs on Her Chest. The Doctor asked how far the Hairs went down Her Chest. She replied, down to my Bollocks.
